Blackbird

I love this hotel and the staff. The only thing awkward was that I have to pass through the bar when I enter the hotel. Carrying large luggages into the bar during the busy hours draw attentions from the bar visitors. Other than that everything was good.

Convenient to our hotel and perfect marriage of casual, upbeat ambiance, and decent food options. Great place to relax with food and a beer after touring all day. Comfortable spacing as well. Also nice after many London pubs being very small.

What an absolutely fabulous hotel! We stayed in Arnold room, which was just lovely and had everything in there that you could wish for. Nice coffee machine and chocolates! …milk and water in the fridge. Quality furnishings and nice touches. We had a complimentary drink in the bar, which was appreciated. The manager and the bar staff were lovely and very friendly. Breakfast was fab. Nice choice of cereals, fruit and croissants. Full English breakfast was brilliant. Nice quality food. Nice setting and fresh flowers on all the tables. Waiter was also lovely. Highly recommend!

Good Food, Good Portion sizes, Good Service, what's not to like? Mother & Daughter visit for lunch whilst in Earls Court area. What first caught our eye was the beautiful flowers and baskets outside. So colourful on a London Street. We had good food. No starter, no desert. Soft drinks. It was £52 for the two of us.

We stayed in The Blackbird for 4 nights in late May. We were in the room called Potter on the 2nd floor. The room was cosy, nicely decorated, had a coffee machine, TV and a decent sized bathroom for us as a couple. The bed was a little squeezy being a double but we were very happy with the stay. There is an elevator - it's a slow one but it works. There is a lovely hot breakfast on offer in the guests dining room and you can also eat in the lively pub section if you choose for other meals. We found the staff friendly. The location was exceptional being almost directly across the road from the Earls Court Tube Station. There is plenty to see in the area but it's super easy to jump on the tube or take a bus elsewhere.

Had higher expectations based on reviews and was excited to try out the Blackbird. I'll start with the good stuff. Firstly both the girls on reception were very friendly and all staff we came across, young american guy at breakfast can't knock them, all polite and friendly. Breakfast was very nice and delicious and set us up nicely for the day. Coffee machine and chocs in room nice touch and the beer in the fridge, waters etc. Bed was comfortable! Now for the rest... The room looked nice upon entering we stayed in Jacques after booking a superior room. On checking in the room was dirty, used coffee cup on the side, sugars on the side, spoon had been used, stuff in the bin, sink covered in dirt and a bath mat on the toilet covered in mud, the hand towels had been used. I popped down to reception and a friendly girl helped me, apologised profusely and got me clean towels and emptied the bin and got a new bag, offered us complimentary drinks as an apology. Fair enough, these things happen apparently a plumber had been in and it hadnt been checked afterwards. But the rest wasn't cleaned again and I ended up cleaning down the sink myself and washing the spoon etc. We then had no sugars, no milk to have with the coffees (not sure if this was missing too or they just don't give them) . The lifts noisy and right outside the room and the housekeepers use it in the morning so we got woken up, and we also got woken up by a member of staff on reception at 2am calling us by mistake asking if we called a taxi, not a good mistake to make waking your guests up at 2am, not very professional. Then in the morning whilst looking for the hairdryer, there was rubbish in the drawers and loose screws and bolts, weird stains on the chair and everything on the desk was dusty. Basically I felt like it wasn't worth the money, felt a bit miffed off and I am glad we were only there for one night.

So this place says pie everywhere. The signs outside, the mats, the uniforms, they takk a big game. I tried and I now have two a week. They are great value and they do a mini version which is a great snack or tasting plate! Highly recommended! Staff can be disinterested sometimes but I think that's happening everywhere with the labour shortages!

We didn’t stay, we were staying at a the Indigo around the corner. But after a busy day in London we decided we would go there for dinner. Ruby reserved a table for us at 7pm, we’re we’re not disappointed! Delicious scotch egg starter then we had the 3 pies and chips with the London beers, just brilliant! I had a great Aperol Spritz with nice garnish and my husband had the Fullers London Pride. We had had a disappointing breakfast the first morning at the hotel Indigo so decided to go for breakfast too. Now they weren’t sure what decaffeinated tea was which as a Northern lass made me chuckle as everything is very cosmopolitan, obviously! But apart from that, absolutely spot on! I got my tea! I had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, my husband had the full English. All quality ingredients and well cooked. Great service and not long to wait for freshly prepared food. This wasn’t the case at the hotel around the corner, we waited an hour for a wrong order! Just a great pub! Don’t walk past! We did the first time we went down and regret it!

I would recommend this pub. The staff is polite and really attentive. The food is fresh and delicious. Unfortunately they have not this much for vegetarians but still a few things. For a quick beer with friends, I would definitely recommend it.
